1) Passivity makes me fidgety. Even in a film, TV show, gig or novel I’m hugely enjoying, my mind will at some point drift to the clock, wondering how soon until it ends, how soon until I can stand up or talk or check something or eat something or go somewhere. Awful, I know. Games, broadly, need me to be doing something most of the time, and that is the greatest weapon I have against a propensity to boredom that I am not at all proud of. This is also why I start to go spare in something like StarCraft II: Legacy of the Void, as it spends so much of its duration pummelling me with particularly low-grade passive storytelling, and my frustration that I have to watch this nonsense instead of do things for myself goes through the roof.

We're happy to have met our goal by re-releasing Nexuiz on steam in a fixed state by the end of the year. It still isn't for sale again, which we'll have more information on later - but those of you who have purchased it can now finally play it again. The database has completely be rebuilt so you shouldn't have any issues playing the game anymore. We're still working on a system that allows XBLA nexuiz fans a free steam key but are unfortunately limited with ways to validate if you have/haven't purchased it. We have a work around though and will post more information about that soon.

We're still putting some touches on everything so you might see some patches trickle in - but everything should be or about to be running as usual.In the mean time if you want some good IllFonic stuff check out Friday the 13th: The Game facebook.com/Fridaythe13thGame/ - Moving Hazard: facebook.com/movinghazard/ and Revival facebook.com/revivalgame/ - these projects are all pushing on some great stuff, check them out!

Alright soldiers, the December patch is live, and the new Commander free trial has begun. You should receive an in-game message with the Commanders (might need to reboot the game). Trial ends on December 10th, after which the commanders will be available for purchase in the in-game store, starting with limited-time bundles at a discount. Have fun and good luck!

Back in 2010, when it was first announced, I was as excited about Grim Dawn [official site] as I was about any other game in production. It’s the work of Crate Entertainment, a studio made up of Iron Lore Entertainment veterans, and Iron Lore were the team behind one of my favourite ARPGs, Titan Quest. When the other kids were slaying demons in Blizzaro-Land, I was carving a path through myth and legend. Despite Grim Dawn’s availability in alpha form for some time now, I still haven’t played. The latest release, which adds a deity Devotion system and the first part of the final act, is awfully tempting though.

We have some great news, our first Nexuiz Beta has been pushed to Steam. If you have Nexuiz on Steam you should have access to this now. We haven't put up official dedicated servers just yet but it should work for you if you try to run the client.

We have some interesting developments here and are currently trying to solidify some things before we let the knowledge out... in the mean time, if you have any issues with the Nexuiz Beta client please let us know on on the steam community forums... just remember - it is "Nexuiz Beta" and not "Nexuiz" in your Steam Library. The store for Nexuiz is still not available.
